Also psychology is a fascinating subject. Wish i had better knowledge.

What you describe is true about how we see things based on our life experience. But empathy comes into bias. It's a form of intelligence not distributed equally.

yea the NDE definitely was profound. It was a few years ago now, so i can't really explain the profundity to the exact same level at which i felt it at that time. I just remember being very vibrant, as if my energy/sensory levels was on a whole other level of perceptiveness and feeling, very empathetic too. Like stuff would happen to people or they would describe things to me and i would deeply feel what they were feeling. I also saw colours very brightly for a while. All of this lasted for about 3 to 4 months after the NDE. I did some reading afterwards and everything i described is heavily reported by other people too who have experienced an NDE. I also read that there's a rich dose of DMT that releases in your body during an NDE, so that could explain all the heightened levels of perception. There's actually this NDE group/foundation online that you can share your experience with and they try to bring a more scientific research aspect to NDEs, it's interesting. After an NDE, a lot of these people get inspired to talk about and study metaphysics, astrology, and go on to practice "mediumship" or psychic channeling - all of which is a bit out there for most people, but there's definitely a small devoted following of interested people.

there's also other random out of the ordinary stuff i've experienced throughout my life, like for instance a tap went open full throttle in our bathroom in my teens without anyone being in the bathroom. My sister and cousin were present too during this incidence, all 3 of us were shocked by it as you could imagine
Also when i was way younger played this "black magic" game... it's called the matchstick (or yes, no, maybe) game. If you can search deep enough online you can find some threads about it, it's so simple but the results defy physics. It blew away my 9-year old mind at the time (just as it would blow away a 90-year old's mind tbh)
i'm sure there are more stuff, but these are the only few i can think of off the top of my head

re: Psychology, never too late to start to research it as a hobby. You're into reading and there's lots of psychology books out there. There's also YouTube. Just start with an introductory course/presentation first so that you can learn the history of psychology, and get the sense of how it branched out into different fields and areas - i think it helps to orient you that way.
